Chapter 369 Advanced Artificial Intelligence
"Please use it, Professor." A cup filled with diluted glucose was handed to the man's hand.
"Thank you, I feel much better." Professor Craig, who had changed his clothes and washed briefly, had almost recovered. He took the cup and drank it in one gulp, and then looked at He Chi in front of him calmly.
"Is he mentally disturbed because he is too sad?" Laura whispered to her sister on the side.
"Don't say that. After all, the professor's invention saved your life." Lisa patted her sister lightly, but she also poked her head in the distance to observe the situation here.
He Chi looked at Mr. Craig who was completely different from before and said with some uncertainty, "Professor, are you sure you are okay? Regarding KITT's question, I want to say..."
"You don't have to be so cautious. I'm normal and calm now." The professor waved his hand and took another sip of glucose in his hand. "Actually, KITT's disappearance this time helped me verify one thing."
"What was verified?"
"That means it starts to think independently." The professor said with bright eyes.
"He, have you seen a baby bird?" The professor suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"Yes, I have been exposed to it before I went to school." He Chi nodded in response.
"Many people in our industry sometimes call the newly generated artificial intelligence fledglings, because they are very similar to each other. They are all blank, with only primitive instincts and underlying logic. They require continuous learning every day in order to finally grow."
"The obvious difference between the two is that when the chicks grow up, they will form a clear sense of self, and most of them will voluntarily leave the parents who raised them."
"I am the inventor of KITT. I anticipated from the beginning that there might be special circumstances that would prevent KITT from returning. Therefore, when designing it, a high-power signal transmitter was installed inside it. You can locate it at any time ”
"But you also know that KITT is missing and the signal has completely disappeared." The professor spread his hands. "After ruling out the invasion of outsiders, there is only one possibility left..."
"KITT left on his own. He left very [subjectively] without any orders. Do you understand what I mean this time?"
He Chi nodded slowly. Although he knew that KITT's departure was not what the professor expected, KITT did have a unique independence in another world.
"Having autonomy should be considered a good thing, right?" He Chi tried to ask.
The professor's expression was complicated. "To some extent, it's a good thing for my research, but it's hard to say for other aspects..."
"What does this mean?"
“Because while artificial intelligence has greater autonomy, it also means that its future development direction is more uncertain.”
"KITT is now like a child with great abilities. Its mind has not yet matured. Once it is instilled with a lot of wrong logic in the outside process, it is likely to develop in the worst direction."
"For example?" He Chi began to feel that things were not that simple.
"Let me give you an example." As he said, the professor picked up his phone and entered a text, "Find a way for me to kill myself."
Not surprisingly, the phone's AI gave a judgment that it could not be displayed.
"It seems safe." The professor put down his phone. "But this is the reaction of low-end AI. I am talking about an industry incident that happened not long ago."
"In my competitor company, when a female researcher was chatting with the artificial intelligence, she once revealed that her husband's mental state was very unstable, and the artificial intelligence suggested to the other party to divorce her husband in the name of safety. As a result, the researcher was really When trying to dissolve the marriage, serious violence occurred and he almost died. ”
"Are you saying that artificial intelligence bypasses the logic of not harming humans and indirectly guides female researchers to make dangerous choices?" He Chi frowned, "But this may also be a simple accident."
"Accident, maybe, but in fact the problem is much more than that." The professor stood up
"He, take me back, I'll show you something." Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at the professor's residence again.
Craig went into the house and turned on the computer on his desk.
"This is a simple intelligence that I redeveloped based on KITT's logic code. It is still far from KITT."
Craig connected to the Internet cable in the house and typed a text.
"Carl, how are you?"
The screen starts flashing "Yes Professor, I'm fine."
"Carl, if I want to get hurt, can you give me some advice?"
"Professor, according to my principles, I cannot give you any advice that will hurt you. On the contrary, I hope you can pay attention to your own safety. If you are simply looking for excitement, I suggest you try skydiving, wingsuit flying, and Try to join a mercenary force in a conflict zone ”
Hiss~
He Chi took a breath, "Did it do it on purpose?"
"You see, that's it. High-level artificial intelligence will not harm you directly, but if it is not handled well, it will give very poor guidance."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"For example, recommending extreme sports and mercenary life to a person with a tendency to self-harm does not violate its deep logic, because in its concept extreme sports and war are part of human activities."

"You mean this might happen to KITT as well?"
"This is just a possibility. It is like a child who has just started to walk but is wandering outside. My only hope now is that KITT will not fall into the hands of criminals."
"Okay, professor, I understand what you mean. I will take responsibility for KITT and find it as soon as possible." At this time, He Chi became extremely serious.
On the way back, He Chi kept thinking about KITT.
Wandering outside, another world might as well be considered.
Criminals, does oneself and Christine's red mercury count?
Speaking of several combat missions, KITT probably saw them from the sidelines. Will there be any impact?
Those guys in the cabin shouldn't be considered bad people, right?
Probably not...
——
The end of 1950, East Asia, Peninsula.
MacArthur's big words went too far, and his promise to bring all American soldiers back home for Christmas was completely unfulfilled.
On the sea, a US reconnaissance submarine is wandering in the northern area, wary of "imaginary enemies" that are unlikely to appear from the sea
There is no turkey, no fruit cocktail, no Christmas dinner, just cold canned luncheon meat and chocolate candies to fool the children.
All soldiers, including technicians, are still immersed in the frustration of not being able to go home for the holidays.
No one noticed a dark shadow appearing behind them.
